The Button Buddy G-Tube Pads

Button Buddies Up Close

It's a Girl Thing Collection Button Buddies

The Button Buddy is a cloth g-tube pad that is a superior substitute for gauze and tape. Button Buddies are made of a soft, wicking fleece pad that sits next to the skin. The inner layer is absorbent terry, and the outer layer is a purely decorative flannel or cotton layer. It is all put together with a single low profile plastic snap. The Button Buddy can be washed time and time again. I tend to change my son’s twice a day because he leaks a little.

How to Use:

Open and place pad around the “button” and secure the snap. (No velcro! If not secured properly the velcro will scratch!)

Fleece and Absorbancy: Fleece is basically a synthetic, 100% polyester fabric with an altered ‘structure.’ This altered ‘structure’ facilitates moisture transfer through the fabric – some will say ‘absorb’ through the fabric. Polyester fabric, in and of itself, does not absorb moisture at all.. Instead fleece wicks moisture away from the skin to its outer surface where it will absorb into another fabric-usually a cotton ‘soaker’ of some sort. I use Terry Cloth as my “soaker”.

Washable and Re-useable: Wash and dry with like colors, preferably in a laundry/lingerie bag so they won’t end up statically fused to your lovely work blazer. Easy…Happy.

Bottom Line: Ditch the gauze and tape! Give the Button Buddy a try…you’ll be glad you did!
